Thanks to all of our wonderful parents who volunteered at a station, helped the kiddos or chaperoned our line during the Field Day.  We couldn't have done it without your help.  A big thank you to our P.E. coaches for organizing this event. The kids had a blast!

We will have a busy week ahead of us! Please mark your calendar for
 Thursday, May 26th at 9:30.  We will have an award ceremony for our Fabulous Firsties.  Each student will be honored for a special quality, character, or effort that they have shown this year. We
would love for you to join us.  The award ceremony is at 9:30-10:30 in the cafeteria. Hope to see you all there.

There will be no more Homework Bags this year.  Please continue to have your child read every day, work on writing and math as well.

In reading, we will continue reading fiction books and review some comprehension strategies that we've been working on this year such as making inference, prediction and connection.
